3d application plugins

Surely there are some plugins out there that you wish to share...........These can also include engine specific plugins.

Here is a plugin for import/export 3dsmax plugin to allow manipulation of Silo3d's native file format.

Explain something to me please.

My engine is going to support the importing and exporting of several formats.
Basicly, a format is imported and translated into the engine's internal format.

It's the exporter's job then to grab the internal format data, and construct the export file, with the apropriate internal format.

The side effect here is that any file format the engine can import, it can then export into other formats, as long as there is a registered exporter, converting this part of the engine into a "free" 3D File format converter.

I'll soon be puting up tutorials on how to write importer and exporter plugins for the engine, so I would like to know if this is the kind of project that qualifies for your thread?

Great plugins fellas. Keep em coming.

In reference to your inquiry Prozak. All plugins are wanted. There are no limits as to what it could be used for or what program it is intended to be used with. At first, I thought 2 and 3d software should be the focus, but I must not dismiss the fact that engines are just as important to both aspects. If you have converters or any other form of plugin, post away as long as it relates to visual arts. :P

Bumping the thread a little to get more action on this topic. I am positive there are more plugs out there that you all can share with the community. Keep em coming.
